Kenya is one of the fastest-growing economies in Africa, and its capital city, Nairobi, is a hub of business and commerce. As the country continues to develop, more buildings are being constructed with helipads to facilitate quick and convenient transportation.
One prominent example of a building with a helipad in Kenya is the UAP Old Mutual Tower, located in the Upper Hill area of Nairobi. Completed in 2015, the 33-story tower is the second-tallest building in Kenya and features a helipad on its rooftop. The helipad allows for easy access to and from the building, making it a popular choice for executives and high-ranking officials.

Another notable building with a helipad is the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), located in the heart of Nairobi's central business district. The KICC is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the city, and its helipad has been used for a variety of purposes, including VIP transport and emergency medical evacuations.

Other buildings in Nairobi with helipads include the Times Tower, which houses the headquarters of the Kenya Revenue Authority, and the Villa Rosa Kempinski Hotel, a luxurious five-star hotel located in the Westlands neighborhood.
In addition to these buildings, there are also several private residences in Kenya that feature helipads. These properties are often owned by wealthy individuals or used as vacation homes by foreign dignitaries and celebrities.
While the use of helipads in Kenya is relatively common, there are some concerns about their safety and environmental impact. Helicopter noise and emissions can be disruptive to nearby residents, and there have been instances of helicopter crashes in the country in the past.
Despite these concerns, the use of helipads in Kenya is likely to continue to grow as the country's economy and infrastructure continue to develop. With its convenient location and the growing number of high-rise buildings, Nairobi is poised to become a leading hub for helicopter transportation in East Africa.
